Kaison Phillips' Big Game Can't Quite Lead Ledford over Montgomery Central
Ledford was sadly handed a defeat on Friday, but Kaison Phillips did his best to prevent it. Phillips was unstoppable, throwing for 255 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 55 yards and a touchdown. Ledford is 2-1 when Phillips posts three or more passing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Ledford now has a losing record at 3-4. Phillips and Ledford will head out to face off against Oak Grove at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Seth Wiley Makes It Two for Ledford
Another Ledford player making an appearance on this list is Seth Wiley. He picked up 171 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He torched the secondary when he pulled down a catch that went for 81 yards.
On the season, Wiley has caught 3 touchdowns while averaging 74 receiving yards per game.

LEE Came Up Big in Asheboro's 56-28 Loss
Asheboro had to settle for second on Friday, but QUINCEY LEE sure wasn't going down easily. LEE turned in nothing short of a gem, rushing for 46 yards and two touchdowns.
Asheboro is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-5. LEE and Asheboro will host North Davidson at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Another Game with at Least Six Total Tackles from Bradley Byrd
Bradley Byrd continued his hot streak on Friday by dropping his 20th-straight game (dating back to last season) with at least six total tackles. He picked up a sack and made 16 total tackles in addition to snagging an interception, good enough for us to rate the performance as the best he's had all season long.
If history really does repeat itself, Byrd might just drop another big game when he faces off against Ledford on Friday. Byrd made 19 total tackles (3.0 for loss) the last time he and the Panthers duked it out back in October of 2023.
